Congratulations Chenthill and Matthew.  Big thanks to Srini and all the
contributors/team members for the consistent and dedicated efforts for
Evolution.

I'm confident that the trio will better their predecessors in keeping
Evolution as one of the best mailers around. :-)

[Evolution-hackers] Evolution maintainership

2009-07-01 Thread Srinivasa Ragavan
Hello guys,

This mail is to announce some of the role changes in the Evolution project. I 
have been thinking about this for a long time, and I feel that this is the best 
time to implement them.

I am proud to announce Chenthill P (chen) as the new Evolution maintainer. He 
is a long time contributor to the Evolution project and has been working in the 
project for over 5 years.  He is well known in the community for his expertise 
in Calendar component and has been its maintainer for the last 4 years.  He has 
been one of the prime contributors for the Groupwise provider and Microsoft 
Exchange Calendar. A few of his notable contributions include libical 
integration with System timezone for better Daylight savings support, 
single-model-view design of Calendar MVC and removal of libical fork.   He has 
mentored interns and GSOC students on Calendar search improvements, Microsoft 
Exchange Delegation support, Google Calendar integration etc.  

I am also proud to announce that Matthew Barnes (mbarnes) is joining Chenthill 
and support him as the Evolution co-maintainer. He has been contributing 
towards Evolution for over 3 years and is the Mail maintainer for the last 2 
years. He has made significant contributions towards obsoleting several 
libraries, and helping to migrate to newer technologies. He has been working on 
Kill-Bonobo which is a major revamp of Evolution Shell. This involves rewriting 
Evolution components and UI which is a focus area for Evolution 3.0.

Going forward, I will be focusing on improving evolution infrastructure for 
netbooks and other devices; chen and mbarnes would be driving the Evolution 
project direction and releases.

Please join me in congratulating chen and mbarnes, and in wishing them good 
luck in their new roles.

-Srini.

Thanks Harish for this opportunity. I will do my very best to make
Evolution a better enterprise quality groupware client.

Congratulations, Srini! And a big thank you to Harish and the Evolution
team for your hard work and dedication to the project. The truth is,
with more than 7 years of development behind it, it's one of the best
mailers around.

Congrats Srini... Evolution has been one of my favourite mail client &
I'm looking forward to the 2.12 release :)

So does that means you'll be leaving the Evolution project? Onto something new?

[Evolution-hackers] Evolution Maintainership

2007-03-29 Thread Harish Krishnaswamy
Hi friends,

This mail is to announce that Srinivasa Ragavan (srag) is joining me
to assume the responsibilites as maintainer of the Evolution project.

Most of you already know Srini (as he is fondly referred to by the Evo
folks) - having interacted with him on IRC, mail or in person during
GUADEC 2006. He is one of our best and most energetic hackers. A few
of his notable contributions include the Evolution Attachment Bar, the
Vertical View for mails, integrating Evolution with the GNOME keyring
and the GNOME VFS backend etc. He has also been prolific in building
the student community in India as part of the Novell Open Source
Internship Program and has mentored students on the Global search,
Cairo integration, migration to gtk-print etc.
He is also looking after the addressbook module in Evolution and
GtkHTML and has been handling the release management partly during the
last development series.

Srini is already busy seeding the Planning page for Evolution Two
Twelve.  Please join the discussions at
http://www.go-evolution.org/Evo2.12. I wish Srini the best in his new
role.

Though I would not be hacking on Evolution full-time in the near
future, I hope to do my bit by reviewing patches, writing
documentation and keeping the web sites up-to-date on spare cycles.
   I would also like to thank you all for your co-operation and for
bearing with me while I was learning the ropes and juggling through my
priorities. You have helped me to learn a lot and have loads of fun
while doing so.

- Harish
